Storing Glass Beads

Glass beads are fragile, and many are a real investment, too, so storing them safely is important. Most dealers carry storage trays, bags, and containers, so finding the right solution for glass beads is part personal preference. Remember that glass beads with facets can be sharp, so store them separately from other beads. Also, larger glass beads can be stored individually in small plastic bags to protect them. Many people also use small prescription containers or even breath mint containers to store some of their most expensive beads!
